In light of the Jalen Collins’ 10-game suspension, the Falcons don’t plan to move free safety Damontae Kazee to cornerback, the position he played in college at San Diego State.

Kazee, a fifth-round pick, has been impressive at his new position.

“Not at this time,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said when asked he planned to move Kazee to cornerback on Monday. “He has a role, backing up Rico (Ricardo Allen) and a real role on special teams. He feels like a Falcons defender.”
